Another ratepayer, Dick Etherington, noted minister of education ap- peared to be concerned mainly with administration of schools when. he, favored the establish- ment' of'central schools. "Isn't there something more important than administration? Can you raisi 'the' standards' of the education?"

He pointed out that Usborne had three vacancies last year and didn't receive any appli- cations the first time they ad- vertised. "In Exeter they only had one vacancy and had 18 applicants," he said, "and their minimum is lower than • Dougall pointed out that there was a good run of tea- chers in the school area at the present, but troubles had been experienced in the past. Go - man backed the chairman up by saying that sometimes it was necessary for rural schools to take teachers who aren't capable and not acceptable to larger schools. Etherington told the meeting that he thought a child in an urban school sometimes ''be- comes a cog in a big machine" and doesn't get the personal attention he would in a rural school, Gornan refuted the state- ment, saying that the students in central schools get "just as much, if not more individual attention." "Teachers in rural schools help students during recess and noon hour," EtheriegtOn. said, ")ut this isn't done in town schools," "Yes it is," replied Geman.'

The East Group of the WA Of the United Church have had cake ,plates made with the pie- ture of the church sin them and are selling them for one of their projects. GB council retains contract with OPP Commissioner W. H, Clark, of the Ontario Provincial Po- lice. informed Grand Ben'd councii by letter Monday that if they didn't accept the pre- sent contract for policing the summer resort they would have to consider establishing their own- police force, , Clark pointed out that he "was very. disappointed" over the split in council in regards to accepting the contract and said he thought the present OPP force an Grand Bend "was the absolute minimum". At the last meeting, council divided over a decision to enter into a contract with the OPP, but after a recorded vote authorized the clerk ad reeve to enter into the contract, Councillors Webb and Desjar- dine favored a cut in the num- 'her of constables and a shorter period for them to be stationed in Grand Bend in an attempt to out ;down the police budget, The new contract calls for one constable to join Cpl. Neil Chamberlain on May 12 and four more on june 24. The six - man force will also have one cruiser and one paddy wagon to use in policing the village, Hear delegation 'Eric McIlroy, acting secre- tary of the Grand Bend and Area Chamber of Commerce, presented a brief to the council asking that the contract with the OPP be renewed fpr the sante number of men as last year. The brief. pointed out that the OPP had ' brought an end to Grand Bend's reputation "as a rowdy, disorderly Ammer re- sort and had, changed it into a decent, law abiding commun- ity". In answer to the possibility of establishing a local police' force, the brief pointed out that law enforcement must be carried out by trained, profes- sional authorities. Jim Wells, president of the ;Grand Bend Ratepayer's As- sociation, said he sympathized with council in their efforts to save money, but felt "this is the wrong place". "The money you save would be negligible and you could run into a lot of trouble," he stateed' Hpointed out that there had never been a complaint; from his group on the spend- ing of in'oney for policing 'and we are happy with the results and want it left that way", In accepting the contract, the council decided not te hire a secretary to assist in the police office, because they felt the force could look after ite own work. The motion was car- ried unanimously. Accept tender The tender of Mansell Mason Jr. was •accepted for Painting the exterior of the town hall. The tender for $120,00 was the only one submitted. Council also authorized Clerk Murray A. Des Jardins to call tor tenders on the operation of the bath house at the beach, Last year, the attendant wax paid $1.00 per hour for an 8. hour week. It was also decided to erect parallel parking signs cei the south side of the main street. Council found they didn't need a by-law, because an earlier Lown by-law called for parallel parking on both sides of the street.
